Review: Fun, Sexy and Summery - I get it. I get the hype. What a breath of fresh (and salty) air that was. I loved it. The character growth, the romance and the flow of it all was seamless. The story wasn’t full of massive plot twists and chaos, however it was full of grumpy/sunshine banter, romance, a little (okay more than a little 😏) spice, comedy, found family and personal growth. I sat up till 2am because I had to know where Piper and Branden ended up. I’m so happy with the result, and even more so now I can get stuck straight into Hannah’s story! 🦊 (iykyk) Tessa Bailey is quickly becoming a favourite of mine! I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Yep, 5. Generous? Perhaps. But I just loved how I felt whilst reading it, romcom fiction at its finest. ## Features - Binding: Paperback Language: English - Item Category: Abis Book - It Happened One Summer: A Novel - Brand: GENERIC ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,568 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Holiday Romance #8 in Paranormal Romance #10 in Romantic Comedy | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 6,481 Reviews | ## Images ![It Happened One Summer: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZKf0rJk5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Just let me love you forever" *by F***Y on 3 May 2024* "I will talk until my voice gives out","I would love you until my heart gives out, I will be your man for thousand years" ❤️❤️❤️ Even tho it's t dual POV I liked it, It was fun, It's been on my TBR since last year and thankfully it's not disappointing read like other popular books I have read. it did felt a little bit insta love wish a lot of reader hates, but I didn't mind it they were cute and hot.

What started as a fun small-town romance quickly became a story I couldn't stop thinking about, and a huge reason for that was Brendan Taggart. He is everything I love in a romance hero: dependable, hardworking, protective, and completely devoted once he falls in love. The chemistry between Brendan and Piper was fantastic. Their relationship felt believable, and I loved watching Piper grow throughout the story. The fishing-town setting was charming and gave the book so much personality, making it easy to get lost in the world. The spicy scenes were excellent, but what really made them work was the emotional connection that had already been built between the characters. Brendan's steady presence and unwavering feelings for Piper made every romantic moment even more satisfying. This book had humor, heart, chemistry, and one of my favorite romance heroes. If you love small-town romances, coastal settings, and gruff heroes with hearts of gold, this book is absolutely worth the hype. Excited to read book 2. ## Frequently Bought Together - It Happened One Summer: A Novel (Bellinger Sisters, 1) - People We Meet on Vacation - Beach Read --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/472516880-it-happened-one-summer-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.at/products/472516880-it-happened-one-summer-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
